Knockout model reveals irregular photoreceptor morphology in retinal degeneration, suggesting UBAP1L's crucial role.
For the first time, biallelic pathogenic variants in UBAP1L were reported to explain the genetic defect among East Asian families with RP. The expression profile and precise localization of UBAP1L were demonstrated. A Ubap1l knockout mouse model replicating key hallmarks of IRD was established. These findings provide valuable insights into the essential role of UBAP1L in maintaining photoreceptor function and offer potential avenues for therapeutic development targeting IRD.
